Years ago, Apple internally discussed and prototyped a battery-powered smart speaker, but I would be surprised if one ever launches under the Apple brand. The speakers on the iPhone and iPad are pretty decent at this point, and I’m sure Apple would rather consumers buy those for mobile playback than a cheaper HomePod. If Apple does get back into the battery-powered speaker game, I’d guess it returns under the Beats brand. That’s the same place Apple has tucked cheaper audio gear in the past.Untuk sektor audio, Apple sekarang punya beberapa produk seperti AirPods, AirPods Pro, AirPods Max dan HomePod mini.
Bocoran terbaru menyebutkan bahwa Apple akan merilis AirPods Pro generasi kedua pada pertengahan tahun ini.
Namun untuk smart speaker portabel, masih belum ada tanda apapun dari rumor yang beredar.
